Seven students from Southeastern Oklahoma State University recently attended the 16th Annual Texas Oklahoma Regional Undergraduate Symposium (TORUS) at Southern Nazarene University. These mathematics and computer science students participated in a multi-faceted conference, with a pair of students pr...

Some races are over before they really get going. So it can seem in the contest to make the best large language models (llms). These algorithms power generative artificial intelligence that can produce humanlike text and other output. Openai, the American creator of Chatgpt, appears leagues ahead. I...

Google doesn’t have the best track record for naming its products, especially when it comes to messaging and video chat apps, and it looks like that trend is continuing into its AI apps. After announcing its new lightweight AI model Gemma earlier today, Google is also revealing that its Duet A...

Intel always competes against AMD, both make some of the best processors, and the sky is blue — what else is new? Well, it turns out that one of those statements might not be as true as it was just last week. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger revealed that Intel’s own fabs are open to making […]...

Experimental computer memories and processors built from magnetic materials use far less energy than traditional silicon-based devices. Two-dimensional magnetic materials, composed of layers that are only a few atoms thick, have incredible properties that could allow magnetic-based devices to achiev...

It’s common knowledge that machine learning consumes a lot of energy. All those AI models powering email summaries, regicidal chatbots, and videos of Homer Simpson singing nu-metal are racking up a hefty server bill measured in megawatts per hour. But no one, it seems — not even the companies be...

The island nation of Singapore is eyeing 2024 as the year to scale its Southeast Asian-focused artificial intelligence (AI) models for commercial use and become a global hub for the technology.  A government-led initiative called AI Singapore is leading the way in developing the country’s own...

In late December 2023, several of Brian Vastag and Beth Mazur’s friends were devastated to learn that the couple had suddenly died. Vastag and Mazur had dedicated their lives to advocating for disabled people and writing about chronic illness. As the obituaries surfaced on Google, members of their...

The Science The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle responsible for the generation of mass in all other elementary particles. Since it was discovered at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2012, researchers have developed strategies to understand how the Higgs boson interacts with the other elementa...

Suspected Chinese hackers are stealing facial recognition data and using it to access bank accounts in Southeast Asia, researchers have found. The sophisticated campaign is being carried out by a group dubbed GoldFactory by researchers with the cybersecurity firm Group-IB. In October 2023, the firm ...
